Yeah, I wonder if it'll be a temporary thing and die out as quickly as it came up. I think it will depend a lot on how much we will actually be able to get out of it. Participation alone is not enough, shared meaning has to be developed out of it.

If the participation grows further, we'll need better ways of categorizing content so it's not just one stream of every kind of content meshed together. And help users in finding their way towards the content they are interested in.

If we can manage to let groups have the same functionality as chapters, I think it would already help. One could make a group for a certain language for instance, so people that share the same language have their own home within IOPS where they can converse in the language they're most at ease with. But with the current number of active users outside of English speaking countries, these pages would probably still be quite desolate places.

"In the first half of 2016 were Netherlands holds the EU presidency. In April 2016 announced Labour Foreign Minister Bert Koenders in several African countries Valetta development money in exchange for commitments to further restrict migration from Africa to Europe. By activist pressure than the Malian government had never signed up to a "readmission agreement" from the population. Because of migration income for Malians essential. Koenders but it still managed to do to the Malian prime minister to buy. It seems that promised the Malian government to send "immigration missions" to European detention centers. Those missions have to turn people to identify with no right of residence so that they can be deported more easily. Mali would also be agreed with the EU to strengthen border controls and combating human trafficking. Against such forms of haggling rice in West Africa, a lot of protest. It is clear what is here, in Europe, and there, in Africa, must be done: strengthen the struggle from below against the filthy EU policy of migration management."

Well, you can sort of get the gist of what's being said, but it's very tiring to read. I think Google is using rather simple models for auto translation so they can save on processing time.

For instance the original sentence that was translated to "Against such forms of haggling rice in West Africa, a lot of protest." has only one word that can be used as a verb ("rijst"), but Google translated it into a noun (which it can also be used as), creating a non-sensical sentence that contains no verb group.

State of the art auto translation would probably work better, but would also require much more resources. In any case, despite all the promises bandied about, I suspect it will be some time before we get really usable auto translation.
